Unfortunately, this does not apply to the RaspberryPis. Actually, there are only wheels for 64 bit x86 (and 32bit on Windows), not ARM. And there's a reason for this: the actual Raspbian Stretch has way too old packages for PySide2 to work. To get PySide2 on a RaspberryPi, you'll need Rasbpian Buster, which has not been released (even though there are repositoryes for an upgrade). Then, you can use the packages already compiled for Debian armhf (which are not in the Raspbi...11.02.2019 Last week of early birds!This is the last week of early bird tickets for foss-north 2019.

Hi! I’m a European Krita user. Do you paint professionally, as a hobby artist, or both? I’m kind of in-between. I finished art school not too long ago, and I’m hoping to find a job or commissions so I could keep painting and actually earn money from it. I also do 3D and programming, but I’d love to keep doing all three without having to abandon any. What genre(s) do you work in? I like to try out different things, but for my main style, I’d say… illustrative? One thing’s for sure, though: my favorite theme i...07.01.2019 BuguRTOS-4.0.0Седьмого января 2019 года вышла встраиваемая операционная система реального времени BuguRTOS-4.0.0.

Randomized testing data displayed. It's that time of the year again when daylight is only seen from office windows and the darkness of evenings comes way too early. Getting much more home time, I wanted to finally get a better overview of my spending. Fortunately we live in the age of apps - you need something? There's an app for it.
